Awesome thread! I'm really enjoying seeing all of the progress.

wow this is extensive, thank you for posting all this info...im subscribing

 

Ugh, I have a headache tonight, and I am not sure if that is making me cranky, or if this wiring is just getting to me. I removed this much out of the engine harness tonight:



And now the harness that comes through the firewall is just this:



I found this connector under the dash, by the stereo, and I have no clue what it is. It seems to have plastic plugs in the openings, so maybe it's for diagnostic use at the dealer? Let me know if anyone knows, I'd love to remove it:

thats what she said

 

it might be for the radio. since rs didnt come with one..

 

doesnt look like any radio plug ive seen but i may be wrong

 

Good work so far. But I would think you would just want to control the fans and water pump with the AEM?

 

i think thats what he wants but also wants to kick the fan on when he shuts the car off so it will cool down

 

I still can, and probably will.

its one of 2 things, a radio connection since the RS doesn't come with a radio from the factory, or it is for a code reader to tell you why the check engine light is on, i could be wrong since im no expert, but i would like to pm you and ask you some further questions if its ok with you.?.?

 

It's neither of those, heh. The radio plug is on the dash harness, and the OBD port is under the dash as well. This could be a diagnostic port for other things (non ecu related), but I am not sure about that.

 

bad freakin ***
